I was riding my mountain bike in Colorado, and I met a dog who reminded me so much of my very first dog in the way she interacted with me, looked at me, and wagged her tail that I rode away convinced I'd just very possibly met the reincarnated version of my long lost friend.
My generation was the tail end of the Cold War.
Our concerns about what we saw in Australia: an economy clearly tied to China has hitched its wagon to the tail of the tiger.
